Subject: RE: Shallow Brown - how to sing it well??
I halve the number of verses by pairing them up.

A single line repeated is less interesting anyway

Except for 1st verse which comes back as last verse.

Oh I'm bound for to leave her,
Bound away for to leave her.

Ole masser goin to sell me
Sell me to a yanky

Sell me for a dollar
Big gold Spanish dollar

sell me for a sailor
Shipped on board a whaler

Fair thee well Juliana
Loved you well Juliana

And I'm bound for to leave her,
Bound away for to leave her.

It works for me.
